The M4 Vertical Foregrip: A Brief History
The M4 Vertical Foregrip: A Brief History by Student of the Gun
https://www.youtube.com/@studentofthegun
The black rifle market in the United States, at least for citizens, was dead or perhaps just stagnant from 1994 to 2004. In 2001 with the beginning of the Global War on Terror, the US Military took a closer look at the main battle rifle than they had in decades.
When the US Army Special Forces put the “SOPMOD-1” package on existing M4’s they realized that all the add-on accessories to the, then new, aluminum rail systems left little room for a traditional rifle grip. To give troopers something to hold on to, the Army began using the Vertical Foregrip, or Vert Grip, or the “Broomhandle” as troops called it.
Also, with the introduction of aluminum forends, troops soon realized that these heated up very quickly. The vert grip kept troopers’ hands off of the hot aluminum rails. Historically, the vert grip on an M4 is a relatively new design, though there are so many configurations that many shooters have forgotten from whence it came.
